Chapter 164 Seeing you talking and laughing with other women
Beijing North, Arc Light Film and Television.
"Mr. Meng, Mango TV has already preliminarily approved our program, and the tentative name is "Star Detective."
In the conference room, He Chen handed over the information in his hand and introduced it.
Meng Bai took the information and complained by the way: "Who named this program?"
"Well, our studio and the website discussed it together." He Chen asked: "Why, do you think there is any problem?"
"There is no problem, it's just a little rustic."
The name of the American version is "Who is the Real Murderer", and the name of the Korean version is "Crime Scene".
Comparing "Star Detective", I can only say that it is indeed very "Mango TV" style.
Meng Bai looked at the program information in his hand. According to He Chen's idea, the whole program is based on celebrity role-playing reasoning, and each episode sets different scenarios and character relationships.
"Do you have any expected guests?" Meng Bai asked.
He Chen shook her head: "It's just been launched, and the specific content and style of the program have not been determined yet. It's too early to discuss the guests now."
After that, she added: "But the main MC has been decided. Mango TV has communicated with Teacher He and he will be in charge."
"Teacher He?" Meng Bai raised his eyes and said: "He Jiong?"
"Yes."
Meng Bai praised lightly: "It seems that the bottom line of this program is at least guaranteed."
As the "stabilizing force" and "real pillar" of Mango Satellite TV, this program can let He Jiong be the main MC, which not only shows that Mango TV is quite optimistic about the "Celebrity Detective" project, but also indirectly guarantees that the overall rhythm of the program should not be a problem.
However...
Meng Bai frowned and said that this program is not quite the same as other variety shows. In many cases, it is really impossible to let one person lead the rhythm.
For someone like He Jiong, if he took the detective or civilian card, it would be fine.
But if he took the "murderer card" and was the main MC, it is very likely that the other guests will subconsciously trust him, which will affect the effect of the entire program.
After all, the "one-sided" situation is a reflection of the guests' abilities, but it is a major failure for the entire program team.
There are two solutions. Either keep He Jiong in the two positions of "detective" and "civilian".
But it's still the same problem. It's not a big problem for one or two episodes, but if it happens too many times, it will affect the audience's viewing effect.
After all, if you eliminate a "suspect" right away, all the plots and performances of this character will be irrelevant.
Another way is to find someone who can "confront" He Jiong.
This "confrontation" not only requires the ability of the host, but more importantly, the qualifications or status must be similar to He Jiong.
"So, Mr. Meng, what do you mean, change to a double MC format?" He Chen asked.
Meng Bai nodded: "Yes, if there is someone who can restrict Teacher He, then the program team can freely set their identities normally."
He Chen thought about it carefully and found that it was really the case. His previous considerations were too shallow.
In fact, when their team was designing before, they also vaguely felt some problems, but in the end they were suppressed by the name of "Teacher He".
Now think about it, even the main creative staff of their program group has such strong trust in He Jiong, not to mention the specific guests in the program.
"Mr. Meng, it is indeed the most correct choice for our program to let you do the content planning of this project." He Chen said excitedly.
However, after the excitement, another problem arises, that is, who can "compete" with He Jiong?
For example, the hosts of domestic entertainment, those news and serious programs are not counted. Just in the track of variety shows, if He Jiong is used as the standard, it seems that there are not many who can fight.
It is impossible to invite Wang Han, another "Laotan Pickled Cabbage Ambassador" of Mango TV.
Let's not talk about whether his style matches the program. Even if He Chen and others are the sons of Mango TV, it is impossible for Mango TV to put two major hosts in one program.
The two thought about it for a while, and they had no clue, so they simply put this problem aside for the time being.
"Teacher He has a movie to start shooting recently, so our program must at least wait until the movie is over before it can be officially launched." He Chen said.
Meng Bai heard this and asked curiously: "Why, is Mr. He planning to make a movie again?"
Although He Jiong is a leader in the field of hosting, he is far behind as an actor.
As the saying goes, "Deyun in the north and Kuaiben in the south", these two have almost become the "bad movie symbols" in recent years.
"This time it's not about filming, it's about directing." He Chen explained: "Didn't Mr. He sing a song called "Gardenia Blossoms" before? It happened to be the tenth anniversary of its release, so he planned to direct a youth film with the same name."
"Wow..."
Meng Bai touched his eyebrows. There were too many points in this sentence, and he didn't know where to start.
A movie adapted from a song ten years ago, and it's still a youth film. Isn't this just copying last year's "My Deskmate"?
But the problem is that Gao Dajin at least knew to find Guo Fan, a serious director, and he just hung up a producer.
How can you, Mr. He, be so brave and go straight to the director.
In the past two years, the status of both film directors and films seems to be depreciating. Almost anyone with a little bit of fame and resources can make a movie.
On the contrary, TV series have been very strong, and basically no one dares to jump in.
I guess they know their level. A two-hour movie can be fooled. At most, they can make more gimmicks during the pre-promotion and warm-up. Anyway, as long as they can deceive the audience into buying tickets, it's over.
But for a TV series of 20 or 30 episodes, if the first episode is not good, the audience will directly change the channel.
Thinking about it this way, I should have been in Beijing Film Academy. With the title of director, maybe I would be in Cannes now.
Of course, he just thought about it this way, and he had never heard of any Golden Palm awarded to a suspense film.
He Chen naturally didn't expect Meng Bai to have so many thoughts in his mind in a blink of an eye, and then said: "This movie is a collaboration with Huayi Film and Television. Teacher He happened to be in Beijing for auditioning actors these days."
She called Meng Bai mainly to come and talk about the details of the program, and by the way, she was also going to find He Jiong to ask about the specific schedule of the movie.
"So what time will it be?"
"I haven't been there yet." He Chen spread his hands.
Meng Bai thought about it, and an idea came to his mind: "Is it convenient for me to accompany you? It can also be regarded as meeting Teacher He in advance."
"It should be no problem." He Chen took out his mobile phone: "Wait a minute, I will ask."
After waiting for a while, she received a reply. After taking a look, she said: "Teacher He said that he is free now. If it is convenient for you, President Meng, you can go together."
"Okay, wait for me to arrange it."
After arranging the company's affairs, Meng Bai and He Chen rushed to the Huayi Film and Television Building together.
After parking the car, the two went upstairs together. Just as he walked into the lobby, his mobile phone suddenly rang.
Looking at the screen, it was Song Zhi.
Meng Bai said something to He Chen, then walked a few steps to the side and answered the call.
"What are you doing?"
As soon as the call was connected, Song Zhi's voice came out.
"Thinking about you." Meng Bai said without hesitation.
There was silence on the other end of the phone, and a slight laugh was faintly heard.
But then, the girl said in a strange voice: "Haha, are you really thinking about me? But why do I see some people talking and laughing with other women?"
"Huh?"
Meng Bai heard this and subconsciously looked around.
Sure enough, not far behind him, he saw Song Zhi squeezing his little face and trying to make an "unhappy" expression.
